2.1.3 System Memory Organization Modes


The IMC supports two memory organization modes, single-channel and dual-channel.
Depending upon how the DDR Schema and DIMM Modules are populated in each
memory channel, a number of different configurations can exist.

Single-Channel Mode

In this mode, all memory cycles are directed to a single channel. Single-Channel mode
is used when either the Channel A or Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any
order, but not both.

20 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Interfaces

Dual-Channel Mode – Intel® Flex Memory Technology Mode

The IMC supports Intel Flex Memory Technology Mode. Memory is divided into a
symmetric and asymmetric zone. The symmetric zone starts at the lowest address in
each channel and is contiguous until the asymmetric zone begins or until the top
address of the channel with the smaller capacity is reached. In this mode, the system
runs with one zone of dual-channel mode and one zone of single-channel mode,
simultaneously, across the whole memory array.

Note: Channels A and B can be mapped for physical channel 0 and 1 respectively or vice
versa. However, channel A size should be greater or equal to channel B size.

B – The largest physical memory amount of the smaller size memory module
C – The remaining physical memory amount of the larger size memory module

Dual-Channel Symmetric Mode (Interleaved Mode)


Dual-Channel Symmetric mode, also known as interleaved mode, provides maximum
performance on real world applications. Addresses are ping-ponged between the
channels after each cache line (64-byte boundary). If there are two requests, and the
second request is to an address on the opposite channel from the first, that request can
be sent before data from the first request has returned. If two consecutive cache lines
are requested, both may be retrieved simultaneously, since they are ensured to be on
opposite channels. Use Dual-Channel Symmetric mode when both Channel A and
Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any order, with the total amount of
memory in each channel being the same.
When both channels are populated with the same memory capacity and the boundary
between the dual channel zone and the single channel zone is the top of memory, IMC
operates completely in Dual-Channel Symmetric mode.

Note: The DRAM device technology and width may vary from one channel to the other.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 21
Interfaces

2.1.4 System Memory Frequency


In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all memory
modules placed in the system, as determined through the SPD registers on the
memory modules. The system memory controller supports up to two DIMM connectors
per channel. If DIMMs with different latency are populated across the channels, the
BIOS will use the slower of the two latencies for both channels. For Dual-Channel
modes both channels should have a DIMM connector populated. For Single-Channel
mode, only a single channel can have a DIMM connector populated.

2.1.5 Technology Enhancements of Intel® Fast Memory Access


(Intel® FMA)
The following sections describe the Just-in-Time Scheduling, Command Overlap, and
Out-of-Order Scheduling Intel FMA technology enhancements.

Just-in-Time Command Scheduling

The memory controller has an advanced command scheduler where all pending
requests are examined simultaneously to determine the most efficient request to be
issued next. The most efficient request is picked from all pending requests and issued
to system memory Just-in-Time to make optimal use of Command Overlapping. Thus,
instead of having all memory access requests go individually through an arbitration
mechanism forcing requests to be executed one at a time, they can be started without
interfering with the current request allowing for concurrent issuing of requests. This
allows for optimized bandwidth and reduced latency while maintaining appropriate
command spacing to meet system memory protocol.

Command Overlap

Command Overlap allows the insertion of the DRAM commands between the Activate,
Pre-charge, and Read/Write commands normally used, as long as the inserted
commands do not affect the currently executing command. Multiple commands can be
issued in an overlapping manner, increasing the efficiency of system memory protocol.

Out-of-Order Scheduling
While leveraging the Just-in-Time Scheduling and Command Overlap enhancements,
the IMC continuously monitors pending requests to system memory for the best use of
bandwidth and reduction of latency. If there are multiple requests to the same open
page, these requests would be launched in a back to back manner to make optimum
use of the open memory page. This ability to reorder requests on the fly allows the IMC
to further reduce latency and increase bandwidth efficiency.

2.1.6 Data Scrambling


The system memory controller incorporates a Data Scrambling feature to minimize the
impact of excessive di/dt on the platform system memory VRs due to successive 1s and
0s on the data bus. Past experience has demonstrated that traffic on the data bus is not
random and can have energy concentrated at specific spectral harmonics creating high
di/dt which is generally limited by data patterns that excite resonance between the
package inductance and on die capacitances. As a result, the system memory controller
uses a data scrambling feature to create pseudo-random patterns on the system
memory data bus to reduce the impact of any excessive di/dt.

22 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Interfaces

2.1.7 DDR I/O Interleaving


The processor supports I/O interleaving, which has the ability to swap DDR bytes for
routing considerations. BIOS configures the I/O interleaving mode before DDR
training.There are 2 supported modes:
• Interleave (IL)
• Non-Interleave (NIL)
The following table and figure describe the pin mapping between the IL and NIL modes.

2.1.8 Data Swapping


By default, the processor supports on-board data swapping in two manners (for all
segments and DRAM technologies):
• byte (DQ+DQS) swapping between bytes in the same channel.
• bit swapping within specific byte.

2.1.9 DRAM Clock Generation


Every supported rank has a differential clock pair. There are a total of four clock pairs
driven directly by the processor to DRAM.

2.1.10 DRAM Reference Voltage Generation


The memory controller has the capability of generating the DDR4 Reference Voltage
(VREF) internally for both read and write operations. The generated VREF can be
changed in small steps, and an optimum VREF value is determined for both during a
cold boot through advanced training procedures in order to provide the best voltage to
achieve the best signal margins.

2.1.11 Data Swizzling


All Processor Lines does not have die-to-package DDR swizzling.

2.2 PCI Express* Graphics Interface (PEG)


This section describes the PCI Express* interface capabilities of the processor.

2.2.1 PCI Express* Support


The processor’s PCI Express* interface is a 16-lane (x16) port that can also be
configured as multiple ports at narrower widths (see Table 2-6, Table 2-7).
The processor supports the configurations shown in the following table.

Notes:
1. For CFG bus details, refer to Section 6.4.
2. Support is also provided for narrow width and use devices with lower number of lanes (that is, usage on x4 configuration),
however further bifurcation is not supported.
3. In case that more than one device is connected, the device with the highest lane count, should always be connected to the
lower lanes, as follows:
— Connect lane 0 of 1st device to lane 0.
— Connect lane 0 of 2nd device to lane 8.
— Connect lane 0 of 3rd device to lane 12.
For example:
a. When using 1x8 + 2x4, the 8 lane device should use lanes 0:7.
b. When using 1x4 + 1x2, the 4 lane device should use lanes 0:3, and other 2 lanes device should use lanes 8:9.
c. When using 1x4 + 1x2 + 1x1, 4 lane device should use lanes 0:3, two lane device should use lanes 8:9, one lane
device should use lane 12.
4. for reversal lanes, for example:
When using 1x8, the 8 lane device should use lanes 8:15, so lane 15 will be connected to lane 0 of the Device.

The processor supports the following:


• Hierarchical PCI-compliant configuration mechanism for downstream devices
• Traditional PCI style traffic (asynchronous snooped, PCI ordering)
• PCI Express* extended configuration space. The first 256 bytes of configuration
space aliases directly to the PCI Compatibility configuration space. The remaining
portion of the fixed 4-KB block of memory-mapped space above that (starting at
100h) is known as extended configuration space.
• PCI Express* Enhanced Access Mechanism. Accessing the device configuration
space in a flat memory mapped fashion
• Automatic discovery, negotiation, and training of link out of reset.
• Peer segment destination posted write traffic (no peer-to-peer read traffic) in
Virtual Channel 0: DMI -> PCI Express* Port 0
• 64-bit downstream address format, but the processor never generates an address
above 512 GB (Bits 63:39 will always be zeros)
• 64-bit upstream address format, but the processor responds to upstream read
transactions to addresses above 512 GB (addresses where any of Bits 63:39 are
nonzero) with an Unsupported Request response. Upstream write transactions to
addresses above 512 GB will be dropped.
• Re-issues Configuration cycles that have been previously completed with the
Configuration Retry status
• PCI Express* reference clock is 100-MHz differential clock

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 25
Interfaces

• Power Management Event (PME) functions


• Dynamic width capability
• Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages
• Lane reversal
• Full Advance Error Reporting (AER) and control capabilities are supported only on
Server SKUs.

Note: The processor has limited support for Hot-Plug. For details, refer to Section 4.4.

2.2.2 PCI Express* Architecture


Compatibility with the PCI addressing model is maintained to ensure that all existing
applications and drivers operate unchanged.

The PCI Express* configuration uses standard mechanisms as defined in the PCI Plug
and-Play specification. The processor PCI Express* ports support Gen 3.
At 8 GT/s, Gen3 operation results in twice as much bandwidth per lane as compared to
Gen 2 operation. The 16 lanes port can operate at 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s, or 8 GT/s.

Gen 3 PCI Express* uses a 128b/130b encoding which is about 23% more efficient
than the 8b/10b encoding used in Gen 1 and Gen 2.

The PCI Express* architecture is specified in three layers – Transaction Layer, Data Link
Layer, and Physical Layer. See the PCI Express Base Specification 3.0 for details of PCI
Express* architecture.

2.2.3 PCI Express* Configuration Mechanism


The PCI Express* (external graphics) link is mapped through a PCI-to-PCI bridge
structure.

DMI

PCI Express* extends the configuration space to 4096 bytes per-device/function, as


compared to 256 bytes allowed by the conventional PCI specification. PCI Express*
configuration space is divided into a PCI-compatible region (that consists of the first
256 bytes of a logical device's configuration space) and an extended PCI Express*
region (that consists of the remaining configuration space). The PCI-compatible region
can be accessed using either the mechanisms defined in the PCI specification or using
the enhanced PCI Express* configuration access mechanism described in the PCI
Express* Enhanced Configuration Mechanism section.

The PCI Express* Host Bridge is required to translate the memory-mapped PCI
Express* configuration space accesses from the host processor to PCI Express*
configuration cycles. To maintain compatibility with PCI configuration addressing
mechanisms, it is recommended that system software access the enhanced
configuration space using 32-bit operations (32-bit aligned) only. See the PCI Express
Base Specification for details of both the PCI-compatible and PCI Express* Enhanced
configuration mechanisms and transaction rules.

2.2.4 PCI Express* Equalization Methodology


Link equalization requires equalization for both TX and RX sides for the processor and
for the End point device.

Adjusting transmitter and receiver of the lanes is done to improve signal reception
quality and for improving link robustness and electrical margin.

The link timing margins and voltage margins are strongly dependent on equalization of
the link.

The processor supports the following:


• Full TX Equalization: Three Taps Linear Equalization (Pre, Current and Post
cursors), with FS/LF (Full Swing /Low Frequency) 24/8 values respectively.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 27
Interfaces

• Full RX Equalization and acquisition for: AGC (Adaptive Gain Control), CDR (Clock
and Data Recovery), adaptive DFE (decision feedback equalizer) and adaptive CTLE
peaking (continuous time linear equalizer).
• Full adaptive phase 3 EQ compliant with PCI Express* Gen 3 specification

See the PCI Express* Base Specification 3.0 for details on PCI Express* equalization.

2.3 Direct Media Interface (DMI)


Direct Media Interface (DMI) connects the processor and the PCH.
Main characteristics:
• 4 lanes Gen 3 DMI support
• 8 GT/s point-to-point DMI interface to PCH
• DC coupling - no capacitors between the processor and the PCH
• PCH end-to-end lane reversal across the link
• Half-Swing support (low-power/low-voltage)

Note: Only DMI x4 configuration is supported.

2.3.1 DMI Lane Reversal and Polarity Inversion


Note: Polarity Inversion and Lane Reversal on DMI Link are not allowed in S-Processor Line
paired with Intel® Z370 Series Chipset PCH-H.

2.3.2 DMI Error Flow


DMI can only generate SERR in response to errors; never SCI, SMI, MSI, PCI INT, or
GPE. Any DMI related SERR activity is associated with Device 0.

2.3.3 DMI Link Down


The DMI link going down is a fatal, unrecoverable error. If the DMI data link goes to
data link down, after the link was up, then the DMI link hangs the system by not
allowing the link to retrain to prevent data corruption. This link behavior is controlled by
the PCH.

Downstream transactions that had been successfully transmitted across the link prior
to the link going down may be processed as normal. No completions from downstream,
non-posted transactions are returned upstream over the DMI link after a link down
event.

Notes:
1. All above is related to bit depth of 24.
2. The data rate for a given video mode can be calculated as: Data Rate = Pixel Frequency * Bit
Depth.
3. The bandwidth requirements for a given video mode can be calculated as:
Bandwidth = Data Rate * 1.25 (for 8B/10B coding overhead).
4. The Table above is partial List of the common Display resolutions, just for example.
The Link Bandwidth depends if the standards is Reduced Blanking or not.
If the Standard is Not reduced blanking - the expected Bandwidth will be higher.
For more details, refer to VESA and Industry Standards and Guidelines for Computer Display
Monitor Timing (DMT), Version 1.0, Rev. 13 February 8, 2013
5. To calculate the resolutions that can be supported in MST configurations, follow the below
guidelines:
a. Identify what is the Link Bandwidth (column right) according the requested Display
resolution.
b. Summarize the Bandwidth for Two of three Displays accordingly, and make sure the final
result is below 21.6Gbps. (for HBR2, four lanes)
c. For special cases when x2 lanes are used or HBR or RBR used, refer to the tables in
Section 2.5.14 accordingly.
For examples:
a. Docking Two displays: 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz + 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz = 16 + 4.62 =
20.62 Gbps [Supported]
b. Docking Three Displays: 3840x2160 @ 30 Hz + 3840x2160 @ 30 Hz +
1920x1080 @ 60 Hz = 7.88 + 7.88 + 4.16 = 19.92 Gbps [Supported]
6. Consider also the supported resolutions as mentioned in Section 2.5.9 and Section 2.5.10.

• The processor supports only 3 streaming independent and simultaneous display


combinations of DisplayPort*/eDP*/HDMI/DVI monitors. In the case where 4
monitors are plugged in, the software policy will determine which 3 will be used.
• Three High Definition Audio streams over the digital display interfaces are
supported.

2.5.4 DisplayPort*
The DisplayPort* is a digital communication interface that uses differential signaling to
achieve a high-bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs
and monitors, projectors, and TV displays.

A DisplayPort* consists of a Main Link, Auxiliary channel, and a Hot-Plug Detect signal.
The Main Link is a unidirectional, high-bandwidth, and low-latency channel used for
transport of isochronous data streams such as uncompressed video and audio. The
Auxiliary Channel (AUX CH) is a half-duplex bidirectional channel used for link
management and device control. The Hot-Plug Detect (HPD) signal serves as an
interrupt request for the sink device.

The processor is designed in accordance to VESA* DisplayPort* specification. Refer to


Table 2-14.

2.5.5 High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI*)


The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI*) is provided for transmitting
uncompressed digital audio and video signals from DVD players, set-top boxes, and
other audio-visual sources to television sets, projectors, and other video displays. It
can carry high-quality multi-channel audio data and all standard and high-definition
consumer electronics video formats. The HDMI display interface connecting the
processor and display devices uses transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) to
carry audiovisual information through the same HDMI cable.

HDMI includes three separate communications channels: TMDS, DDC, and the optional
CEC (consumer electronics control). CEC is not supported on the processor. As shown in
the following figure, the HDMI cable carries four differential pairs that make up the
TMDS data and clock channels. These channels are used to carry video, audio, and
auxiliary data. In addition, HDMI carries a VESA DDC. The DDC is used by an HDMI
Source to determine the capabilities and characteristics of the Sink.

Audio, video, and auxiliary (control/status) data is transmitted across the three TMDS
data channels. The video pixel clock is transmitted on the TMDS clock channel and is
used by the receiver for data recovery on the three data channels. The digital display
data signals driven natively through the PCH are AC coupled and needs level shifting to
convert the AC coupled signals to the HDMI compliant digital signals.

2.5.6 Digital Video Interface (DVI)


The processor Digital Ports can be configured to drive DVI-D. DVI uses TMDS for
transmitting data from the transmitter to the receiver, which is similar to the HDMI
protocol except for the audio and CEC. Refer to the HDMI section for more information
on the signals and data transmission. The digital display data signals driven natively
through the processor are AC coupled and need level shifting to convert the AC coupled
signals to the HDMI compliant digital signals.

2.5.7 embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*)


The embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) is an embedded version of the DisplayPort
standard oriented towards applications such as notebook and All-In-One PCs. Like
DisplayPort, embedded DisplayPort* also consists of a Main Link, Auxiliary channel, and
an optional Hot-Plug Detect signal. eDP* can be bifurcated in order to support VGA
display.

2.5.8 Integrated Audio


• HDMI* and display port interfaces carry audio along with video.
• The processor supports 3 High Definition audio streams on 3 digital ports
simultaneously (the DMA controllers are in PCH).
• The integrated audio processing (DSP) is performed by the PCH, and delivered to
the processor using the AUDIO_SDI and AUDIO_CLK inputs pins.
• AUDIO_SDO output pin is used to carry responses back to the PCH
• Supports only the internal HDMI and DP CODECs.

The processor will continue to support Silent stream. Silent stream is an integrated
audio feature that enables short audio streams, such as system events to be heard
over the HDMI* and DisplayPort* monitors. The processor supports silent streams over
the HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz,
and 192 kHz sampling rates.

2.5.9 Multiple Display Configurations (Dual Channel DDR)


The following multiple display configuration modes are supported (with appropriate
driver software):
• Single Display is a mode with one display port activated to display the output to
one display device.
• Intel Display Clone is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the
display content of same color depth setting but potentially different refresh rate
and resolution settings to all the active display devices connected.
• Extended Desktop is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the
content with potentially different color depth, refresh rate, and resolution settings
on each of the active display devices connected.

The digital ports on the processor can be configured to support DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI.


The following table shows examples of valid three display configurations through the
processor.

2.5.11 High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)


HDCP is the technology for protecting high-definition content against unauthorized
copy or unreceptive between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, and so on) and
the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The processor supports HDCP 2.2 for 4k Premium
content protection over wired displays (HDMI*, DVI, and DisplayPort*).

The HDCP 2.2 keys are integrated into the processor and customers are not required to
physically configure or handle the keys. HDCP2.2 for HDMI2.0 is covered by the
LSPCON platform device.

Some minor difference will be between Integrated HDCP2.2 over HDMI1.4 compared to
the HDCP2.2 over LSPCON in HDMI1.4 Mode. Also, LSPCON is needed for HDMI 2.0a
which defines HDR over HDMI.

The HDCP 1.4 keys are integrated into the processor and customers are not required to
physically configure or handle the keys.

2.6 Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)


Note: PECI is an Intel proprietary interface that provides a communication channel between
Intel processors and external components like Super IO (SIO) and Embedded
Controllers (EC) to provide processor temperature, Turbo, Configurable TDP, and
memory throttling control mechanisms and many other services. PECI is used for
platform thermal management and real time control and configuration of processor
features and performance.

2.6.1 PECI Bus Architecture


The PECI architecture is based on a wired OR bus that the clients (as processor PECI)
can pull up (with strong drive).

The idle state on the bus is near zero.

The following figures demonstrate PECI design and connectivity:


• PECI Host-Clients Connection: While the host/originator can be third party PECI

This chapter provides a high-level description of Intel technologies implemented in the


processor.

The implementation of the features may vary between the processor SKUs.

Details on the different technologies of Intel processors and other relevant external
notes are located at the Intel technology web site: http://www.intel.com/technology/

3.1 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)


Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) makes a single system appear as multiple
independent systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems
to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components
to support virtualization of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and
chipsets.

Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) for IA-32, Intel 64 and Intel Architecture (Intel
VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the virtualization
performance and robustness. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-
d) extends Intel VT-x by adding hardware assisted support to improve I/O device
virtualization performance.
Intel VT-x specifications and functional descriptions are included in the Intel 64 and IA-
32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3. Available at:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm
The Intel VT-d specification and other VT documents can be referenced at:

3.1.1 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for IA-32,


Intel® 64 and Intel® Architecture (Intel® VT-X)
Intel® VT-x Objectives
Intel VT-x provides hardware acceleration for virtualization of IA platforms. Virtual
Machine Monitor (VMM) can use Intel VT-x features to provide an improved reliable
virtualized platform. By using Intel VT-x, a VMM is:
• Robust: VMMs no longer need to use para-virtualization or binary translation. This
means that VMMs will be able to run off-the-shelf operating systems and
applications without any special steps.
• Enhanced: Intel VT enables VMMs to run 64-bit guest operating systems on IA x86
processors.
• More reliable: Due to the hardware support, VMMs can now be smaller, less
complex, and more efficient. This improves reliability and availability and reduces
the potential for software conflicts.

48 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Technologies

• More secure: The use of hardware transitions in the VMM strengthens the isolation
of VMs and further prevents corruption of one VM from affecting others on the
same system.

Intel® VT-x Key Features

The processor supports the following added new Intel VT-x features:
• Extended Page Table (EPT) Accessed and Dirty Bits
— EPT A/D bits enabled VMMs to efficiently implement memory management and
page classification algorithms to optimize VM memory operations, such as de-
fragmentation, paging, live migration, and check-pointing. Without hardware
support for EPT A/D bits, VMMs may need to emulate A/D bits by marking EPT
paging-structures as not-present or read-only, and incur the overhead of EPT
page-fault VM exits and associated software processing.
• EPTP (EPT pointer) switching
— EPTP switching is a specific VM function. EPTP switching allows guest software
(in VMX non-root operation, supported by EPT) to request a different EPT
paging-structure hierarchy. This is a feature by which software in VMX non-root
operation can request a change of EPTP without a VM exit. Software will be able
to choose among a set of potential EPTP values determined in advance by
software in VMX root operation.
• Pause loop exiting
— Support VMM schedulers seeking to determine when a virtual processor of a
multiprocessor virtual machine is not performing useful work. This situation
may occur when not all virtual processors of the virtual machine are currently
scheduled and when the virtual processor in question is in a loop involving the
PAUSE instruction. The new feature allows detection of such loops and is thus
called PAUSE-loop exiting.

The processor IA core supports the following Intel VT-x features:


• Mode based (XU/XS) EPT execute control - New Feature for this processor
— A new mode of EPT operation which enables different controls for executability
of GPA based on Guest specified mode (User/Supervisor) of linear address
translating to the GPA. When the mode is enabled, the executability of a GPA is
defined by two bits in EPT entry. One bit for accesses to user pages and other
one for accesses to supervisor pages.
— The new mode requires changes in VMCS, and EPT entries. VMCS includes a bit
“mode based EPT execute control” which is used to enable/disable the mode.
An additional bit in EPT entry is defined as “supervisor-execute access”; the
original execute control bit is considered as “user-execute access”. If the “mode
based EPT execute control” is disabled the additional bit is ignored and the
system works with one bit execute control for both user pages and supervisor
pages.
— Behavioral changes - Behavioral changes are across three areas:
• Access to GPA- If the “mode-based EPT execute control” VM-execution
control is 1, treatment of guest-physical accesses by instruction fetches
depends on the linear address from which an instruction is being fetched
1.If the translation of the linear address specifies user mode (the S bit
was set in every paging structure entry used to translate the linear
address), the resulting guest-physical address is executable under
EPT only if the XU bit (at position 2) is set in every EPT paging-
structure entry used to translate the guest-physical address.
2.If the translation of the linear address specifies supervisor mode (the
S bit was clear in at least one of the paging-structure entries used to

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 49
Technologies

translate the linear address), the resulting guest-physical address is


executable under EPT only if the XS bit is set in every EPT paging-
structure entry used to translate the guest-physical address
—The XU and XS bits are used only when translating linear
addresses for guest code fetches. They do not apply to guest
page walks, data accesses, or A/D-bit updates
• VMEntry - If the “activate secondary controls” and “mode-based EPT
execute control” VM-execution controls are both 1, VM entries ensure that
the “enable EPT” VM-execution control is 1. VM entry fails if this check
fails. When such a failure occurs, control is passed to the next instruction,
• VMExit - The exit qualification due to EPT violation reports clearly
whether the violation was due to User mode access or supervisor mode
access.
— Capability Querying: IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2 has bit to indicate the
capability, RDMSR can be used to read and query whether the processor
supports the capability or not.
• Extended Page Tables (EPT)
— EPT is hardware assisted page table virtualization
— It eliminates VM exits from guest OS to the VMM for shadow page-table
maintenance
• Virtual Processor IDs (VPID)
— Ability to assign a VM ID to tag processor IA core hardware structures (such as
TLBs)
— This avoids flushes on VM transitions to give a lower-cost VM transition time
and an overall reduction in virtualization overhead.
• Guest Preemption Timer
— Mechanism for a VMM to preempt the execution of a guest OS after an amount
of time specified by the VMM. The VMM sets a timer value before entering a
guest
— The feature aids VMM developers in flexibility and Quality of Service (QoS)
guarantees
• Descriptor-Table Exiting
— Descriptor-table exiting allows a VMM to protect a guest OS from internal
(malicious software based) attack by preventing relocation of key system data
structures like IDT (interrupt descriptor table), GDT (global descriptor table),
LDT (local descriptor table), and TSS (task segment selector).
— A VMM using this feature can intercept (by a VM exit) attempts to relocate
these data structures and prevent them from being tampered by malicious
software.

3.1.2 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Directed


I/O (Intel® VT-d)
Intel® VT-d Objectives

The key Intel VT-d objectives are domain-based isolation and hardware-based
virtualization. A domain can be abstractly defined as an isolated environment in a
platform to which a subset of host physical memory is allocated. Intel VT-d provides
accelerated I/O performance for a virtualized platform and provides software with the
following capabilities:
• I/O device assignment and security: for flexibly assigning I/O devices to VMs and
extending the protection and isolation properties of VMs for I/O operations.

50 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Technologies

• DMA remapping: for supporting independent address translations for Direct


Memory Accesses (DMA) from devices.
• Interrupt remapping: for supporting isolation and routing of interrupts from devices
and external interrupt controllers to appropriate VMs.
• Reliability: for recording and reporting to system software DMA and interrupt errors
that may otherwise corrupt memory or impact VM isolation.

Intel VT-d accomplishes address translation by associating transaction from a given I/O
device to a translation table associated with the Guest to which the device is assigned.
It does this by means of the data structure in the following illustration. This table
creates an association between the device's PCI Express* Bus/Device/Function (B/D/F)
number and the base address of a translation table. This data structure is populated by
a VMM to map devices to translation tables in accordance with the device assignment
restrictions above, and to include a multi-level translation table (VT-d Table) that
contains Guest specific address translations.

Intel VT-d functionality, often referred to as an Intel VT-d Engine, has typically been
implemented at or near a PCI Express* host bridge component of a computer system.
This might be in a chipset component or in the PCI Express functionality of a processor
with integrated I/O. When one such VT-d engine receives a PCI Express transaction
from a PCI Express bus, it uses the B/D/F number associated with the transaction to
search for an Intel VT-d translation table. In doing so, it uses the B/D/F number to
traverse the data structure shown in the above figure. If it finds a valid Intel VT-d table
in this data structure, it uses that table to translate the address provided on the PCI
Express bus. If it does not find a valid translation table for a given translation, this
results in an Intel VT-d fault. If Intel VT-d translation is required, the Intel VT-d engine
performs an N-level table walk.

For more information, refer to Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
Architecture Specification http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/
documents/product-specifications/vt-directed-io-spec.pdf

Intel® VT-d Key Features

The processor supports the following Intel VT-d features:


• Memory controller and processor graphics comply with the Intel VT-d 2.1
Specification.
• Two Intel VT-d DMA remap engines.
— iGFX DMA remap engine
— Default DMA remap engine (covers all devices except iGFX)
• Support for root entry, context entry, and default context
• 39-bit guest physical address and host physical address widths
• Support for 4K page sizes only
• Support for register-based fault recording only (for single entry only) and support
for MSI interrupts for faults
• Support for both leaf and non-leaf caching
• Support for boot protection of default page table
• Support for non-caching of invalid page table entries
• Support for hardware based flushing of translated but pending writes and pending
reads, on IOTLB invalidation
• Support for Global, Domain specific and Page specific IOTLB invalidation
• MSI cycles (MemWr to address FEEx_xxxxh) not translated
— Translation faults result in cycle forwarding to VBIOS region (byte enables
masked for writes). Returned data may be bogus for internal agents, PEG/DMI
interfaces return unsupported request status
• Interrupt Remapping is supported
• Queued invalidation is supported
• Intel VT-d translation bypass address range is supported (Pass Through)

The processor supports the following added new Intel VT-d features:
• 4-level Intel VT-d Page walk – both default Intel VT-d engine as well as the IGD VT-
d engine are upgraded to support 4-level Intel VT-d tables (adjusted guest address
width of 48 bits)

52 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Technologies

• Intel VT-d superpage – support of Intel VT-d superpage (2 MB, 1 GB) for default
Intel VT-d engine (that covers all devices except IGD)
IGD Intel VT-d engine does not support superpage and BIOS should disable
superpage in default Intel VT-d engine when iGfx is enabled.

Note: Intel VT-d Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

3.2 Security Technologies


3.2.1 Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) defines platform-level enhancements
that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.

The Intel TXT platform helps to provide the authenticity of the controlling environment
such that those wishing to rely on the platform can make an appropriate trust decision.
The Intel TXT platform determines the identity of the controlling environment by
accurately measuring and verifying the controlling software.

Another aspect of the trust decision is the ability of the platform to resist attempts to
change the controlling environment. The Intel TXT platform will resist attempts by
software processes to change the controlling environment or bypass the bounds set by
the controlling environment.

Intel TXT is a set of extensions designed to provide a measured and controlled launch
of system software that will then establish a protected environment for itself and any
additional software that it may execute.

These extensions enhance two areas:


• The launching of the Measured Launched Environment (MLE).
• The protection of the MLE from potential corruption.

The enhanced platform provides these launch and control interfaces using Safer Mode
Extensions (SMX).

The SMX interface includes the following functions:


• Measured/Verified launch of the MLE.
• Mechanisms to ensure the above measurement is protected and stored in a secure
location.
• Protection mechanisms that allow the MLE to control attempts to modify itself.

The processor also offers additional enhancements to System Management Mode


(SMM) architecture for enhanced security and performance. The processor provides
new MSRs to:
• Enable a second SMM range
• Enable SMM code execution range checking
• Select whether SMM Save State is to be written to legacy SMRAM or to MSRs
• Determine if a thread is going to be delayed entering SMM
• Determine if a thread is blocked from entering SMM
• Targeted SMI, enable/disable threads from responding to SMIs, both VLWs and IPI

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 53
Technologies

For the above features, BIOS should test the associated capability bit before attempting
to access any of the above registers.
For more information, refer to the Intel® Trusted Execution Technology Measured
Launched Environment Programming Guide

Note: Intel TXT Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

3.2.2 Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions


(Intel® AES-NI)
The processor supports Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel
AES-NI) that are a set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that
enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption based on the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). Intel AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic
applications, such as applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption,
authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption. AES is
broadly accepted as the standard for both government and industry applications, and is
widely deployed in various protocols.

Intel AES-NI consists of six Intel SSE instructions. Four instructions, AESENC,
AESENCLAST, AESDEC, and AESDELAST facilitate high performance AES encryption and
decryption. The other two, AESIMC and AESKEYGENASSIST, support the AES key
expansion procedure. Together, these instructions provide full hardware for supporting
AES; offering security, high performance, and a great deal of flexibility.

Note: Intel AES-NI Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

3.2.3 PCLMULQDQ (Perform Carry-Less Multiplication Quad


word) Instruction
The processor supports the carry-less multiplication instruction, PCLMULQDQ.
PCLMULQDQ is a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instruction that computes the
128-bit carry-less multiplication of two 64-bit operands without generating and
propagating carries. Carry-less multiplication is an essential processing component of
several cryptographic systems and standards. Hence, accelerating carry-less
multiplication can significantly contribute to achieving high speed secure computing
and communication.

3.2.4 Intel® Secure Key


The processor supports Intel Secure Key (formerly known as Digital Random Number
Generator (DRNG)), a software visible random number generation mechanism
supported by a high quality entropy source. This capability is available to programmers
through the RDRAND instruction. The resultant random number generation capability is
designed to comply with existing industry standards in this regard (ANSI X9.82 and
NIST SP 800-90).

Some possible usages of the RDRAND instruction include cryptographic key generation
as used in a variety of applications, including communication, digital signatures, secure
storage, and so on.

54 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Technologies

3.2.5 Execute Disable Bit


The Execute Disable Bit allows memory to be marked as non executable when
combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-
executable memory, the processor raises an error to the operating system. This feature
can prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities
and can, thus, help improve the overall security of the system.

See the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals for more
detailed information.

3.2.6 Boot Guard Technology


Boot Guard technology is a part of boot integrity protection technology. Boot Guard can
help protect the platform boot integrity by preventing execution of unauthorized boot
blocks. With Boot Guard, platform manufacturers can create boot policies such that
invocation of an unauthorized (or untrusted) boot block will trigger the platform
protection per the manufacturer's defined policy.

With verification based in the hardware, Boot Guard extends the trust boundary of the
platform boot process down to the hardware level.

Boot Guard accomplishes this by:


• Providing of hardware-based Static Root of Trust for Measurement (S-RTM) and the
Root of Trust for Verification (RTV) using Intel architectural components.
• Providing of architectural definition for platform manufacturer Boot Policy.
• Enforcing of manufacture provided Boot Policy using Intel architectural
components.

Benefits of this protection is that Boot Guard can help maintain platform integrity by
preventing re-purposing of the manufacturer’s hardware to run an unauthorized
software stack.

3.2.7 Intel® Supervisor Mode Execution Protection (SMEP)


Intel® Supervisor Mode Execution Protection (SMEP) is a mechanism that provides the
next level of system protection by blocking malicious software attacks from user mode
code when the system is running in the highest privilege level. This technology helps to
protect from virus attacks and unwanted code from harming the system. For more
information, refer to Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual,
Volume 3A at: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/253668.pdf

3.2.8 Intel® Supervisor Mode Access Protection (SMAP)


Intel® Supervisor Mode Access Protection (SMAP) is a mechanism that provides next
level of system protection by blocking a malicious user from tricking the operating
system into branching off user data. This technology shuts down very popular attack
vectors against operating systems.

For more information, refer to the Intel ® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer's Manual, Volume 3A: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/253668.pdf

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 55
Technologies

3.2.9 Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (Intel® MPX)


Intel® MPX provides hardware accelerated mechanism for memory testing (heap and
stack) buffer boundaries in order to identify buffer overflow attacks.

An Intel MPX enabled compiler inserts new instructions that tests memory boundaries
prior to a buffer access. Other Intel MPX commands are used to modify a database of
memory regions used by the boundary checker instructions.

The Intel MPX ISA is designed for backward compatibility and will be treated as no-
operation instructions (NOPs) on older processors.

Intel MPX can be used for:


• Efficient runtime memory boundary checks for security-sensitive portions of the
application.
• As part of a memory checker tool for finding difficult memory access errors. Intel
MPX is significantly of magnitude faster than software implementations.

3.2.10 Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)


Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) is a processor enhancement designed
to help protect application integrity and confidentiality of secrets and withstands
software and certain hardware attacks.

Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) architecture provides the capability to
create isolated execution environments named Enclaves that operate from a protected
region of memory.

Enclave code can be accessed using new special ISA commands that jump into per
Enclave predefined addresses. Data within an Enclave can only be accessed from that
same Enclave code.

The latter security statements hold under all privilege levels including supervisor mode
(ring-0), System Management Mode (SMM) and other Enclaves.

Intel® SGX features a memory encryption engine that both encrypt Enclave memory as
well as protect it from corruption and replay attacks.

Intel® SGX benefits over alternative Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are:
• Enclaves are written using C/C++ using industry standard build tools.
• High processing power as they run on the processor.
• Large amount of memory are available as well as non-volatile storage (such as disk
drives).
• Simple to maintain and debug using standard IDEs (Integrated Development
Environment)
• Scalable to a larger number of applications and vendors running concurrently
• Allow Launch Enclaves other than the one currently provided by Intel.

• Supported protected memory sizes:


— Supports 32, 64 and 128MB.

I/O (Intel® VT-d)
Refer to Section 3.1.2 Intel VT-d for detail.

3.3 Power and Performance Technologies


3.3.1 Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT
Technology)
The processor supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)
that allows an execution processor IA core to function as two logical processors. While
some execution resources such as caches, execution units, and buses are shared, each
logical processor has its own architectural state with its own set of general-purpose
registers and control registers. This feature should be enabled using the BIOS and
requires operating system support.

Note: Intel HT Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

3.3.2 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0


The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor IA core / processor
graphics core to opportunistically and automatically run faster than the processor IA
core base frequency / processor graphics base frequency if it is operating below power,
temperature, and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 feature is
designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded
workloads.

Compared with previous generation products, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 will
increase the ratio of application power towards TDP and also allows to increase power
above TDP as high as PL2 for short periods of time. Thus, thermal solutions and
platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal design guidance might
experience thermal and performance issues since more applications will tend to run at
the maximum power limit for significant periods of time.

Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 may not be available on all SKUs.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 57
Technologies

3.3.2.1 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Frequency


To determine the highest performance frequency amongst active processor IA cores,
the processor takes the following into consideration:
• The number of processor IA cores operating in the C0 state.
• The estimated processor IA core current consumption and ICCMax register settings.
• The estimated package prior and present power consumption and turbo power
limits.
• The package temperature.
• Sustained turbo residencies at high voltages and temperature.

Any of these factors can affect the maximum frequency for a given workload. If the
power, current, Voltage or thermal limit is reached, the processor will automatically
reduce the frequency to stay within the PL1 value. Turbo processor frequencies are only
active if the operating system is requesting the P0 state. If turbo frequencies are
limited the cause is logged in IA_PERF_LIMIT_REASONS register. For more information
on P-states and C-states, refer Chapter 4, “Power Management”.

3.3.3 Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2)


Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel® AVX2) is the latest expansion of the
Intel instruction set. Intel AVX2 extends the Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel
AVX) with 256-bit integer instructions, floating-point fused multiply add (FMA)
instructions, and gather operations. The 256-bit integer vectors benefit math, codec,
image, and digital signal processing software. FMA improves performance in face
detection, professional imaging, and high performance computing. Gather operations
increase vectorization opportunities for many applications. In addition to the vector
extensions, this generation of Intel processors adds new bit manipulation instructions
useful in compression, encryption, and general purpose software.
For more information on Intel AVX, see http://www.intel.com/software/avx

Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX) are designed to achieve higher
throughput to certain integer and floating point operation. Due to varying processor
power characteristics, utilizing AVX instructions may cause a) parts to operate below
the base frequency b) some parts with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to not achieve
any or maximum turbo frequencies. Performance varies depending on hardware,
software and system configuration and you should consult your system manufacturer
for more information. Intel Advanced Vector Extensions refers to Intel AVX, Intel AVX2
or Intel AVX-512.
For more information on Intel AVX, see http://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/

3.3.4 Intel® 64 Architecture x2APIC


The x2APIC architecture extends the xAPIC architecture that provides key mechanisms
for interrupt delivery. This extension is primarily intended to increase processor
addressability.

Specifically, x2APIC:
• Retains all key elements of compatibility to the xAPIC architecture:
— Delivery modes
— Interrupt and processor priorities
— Interrupt sources
— Interrupt destination types
• Provides extensions to scale processor addressability for both the logical and
physical destination modes
• Adds new features to enhance performance of interrupt delivery
• Reduces complexity of logical destination mode interrupt delivery on link based
architectures

The key enhancements provided by the x2APIC architecture over xAPIC are the
following:
• Support for two modes of operation to provide backward compatibility and
extensibility for future platform innovations:
— In xAPIC compatibility mode, APIC registers are accessed through memory
mapped interface to a 4K-Byte page, identical to the xAPIC architecture.
— In x2APIC mode, APIC registers are accessed through Model Specific Register
(MSR) interfaces. In this mode, the x2APIC architecture provides significantly
increased processor addressability and some enhancements on interrupt
delivery.
• Increased range of processor addressability in x2APIC mode:
— Physical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits, allowing for interrupt
processor addressability up to 4G-1 processors in physical destination mode. A
processor implementation of x2APIC architecture can support fewer than 32-
bits in a software transparent fashion.
— Logical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits. The 32-bit logical x2APIC
ID is partitioned into two sub-fields – a 16-bit cluster ID and a 16-bit logical ID
within the cluster. Consequently, ((2^20) - 16) processors can be addressed in
logical destination mode. Processor implementations can support fewer than
16 bits in the cluster ID sub-field and logical ID sub-field in a software agnostic
fashion.
• More efficient MSR interface to access APIC registers:
— To enhance inter-processor and self-directed interrupt delivery as well as the
ability to virtualize the local APIC, the APIC register set can be accessed only
through MSR-based interfaces in x2APIC mode. The Memory Mapped IO
(MMIO) interface used by xAPIC is not supported in x2APIC mode.
• The semantics for accessing APIC registers have been revised to simplify the
programming of frequently-used APIC registers by system software. Specifically,
the software semantics for using the Interrupt Command Register (ICR) and End Of
Interrupt (EOI) registers have been modified to allow for more efficient delivery
and dispatching of interrupts.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 59
Technologies

• The x2APIC extensions are made available to system software by enabling the local
x2APIC unit in the “x2APIC” mode. To benefit from x2APIC capabilities, a new
operating system and a new BIOS are both needed, with special support for x2APIC
mode.
• The x2APIC architecture provides backward compatibility to the xAPIC architecture
and forward extendible for future Intel platform innovations.

Note: Intel x2APIC Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

For more information, see the Intel® 64 Architecture x2APIC Specification at http://
www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/.

3.3.5 Power Aware Interrupt Routing (PAIR)


The processor includes enhanced power-performance technology that routes interrupts
to threads or processor IA cores based on their sleep states. As an example, for energy
savings, it routes the interrupt to the active processor IA cores without waking the
deep idle processor IA cores. For performance, it routes the interrupt to the idle (C1)
processor IA cores without interrupting the already heavily loaded processor IA cores.
This enhancement is mostly beneficial for high-interrupt scenarios like Gigabit LAN,
WLAN peripherals, and so on.

3.3.6 Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions


(Intel® TSX-NI)
Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions (Intel® TSX-NI) provides a set of
instruction set extensions that allow programmers to specify regions of code for
transactional synchronization. Programmers can use these extensions to achieve the
performance of fine-grain locking while actually programming using coarse-grain locks.
Details on Intel TSX-NI may be found in Intel® Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
Programming Reference.

Note: Intel TSX-NI may not be available on all SKUs.

3.4 Debug Technologies


3.4.1 Intel® Processor Trace
Intel® Processor Trace (Intel® PT) is a new tracing capability added to Intel
Architecture, for use in software debug and profiling. Intel PT provides the capability for
more precise software control flow and timing information, with limited impact to
software execution. This provides enhanced ability to debug software crashes, hangs,
or other anomalies, as well as responsiveness and short-duration performance issues.

Intel VTune™ Amplifier for Systems and the Intel System Debugger are part of Intel
System Studio 2015, which includes updates for new debug and trace features on this
latest platform, including Intel PT and Intel Trace Hub.

4.2 Processor IA Core Power Management


While executing code, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and Intel Speed
Shift® Technology optimizes the processor’s IA core frequency and voltage based on
workload. Each frequency and voltage operating point is defined by ACPI as a P-state.
When the processor is not executing code, it is idle. A low-power idle state is defined by
ACPI as a C-state. In general, deeper power C-states have longer entry and exit
latencies.

4.2.1 OS/HW controlled P-states


4.2.1.1 Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology enables OS to control and select P-state. The
following are the key features of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology:
• Multiple frequency and voltage points for optimal performance and power
efficiency. These operating points are known as P-states.
• Frequency selection is software controlled by writing to processor MSRs. The
voltage is optimized based on the selected frequency and the number of active
processor IA cores.
— Once the voltage is established, the PLL locks on to the target frequency.
— All active processor IA cores share the same frequency and voltage. In a multi-
core processor, the highest frequency P-state requested among all active IA
cores is selected.
— Software-requested transitions are accepted at any time. If a previous
transition is in progress, the new transition is deferred until the previous
transition is completed.
• The processor controls voltage ramp rates internally to ensure glitch-free
transitions.
• Because there is low transition latency between P-states, a significant number of
transitions per-second are possible.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 65
Power Management

4.2.1.2 Intel® Speed Shift Technology


Intel Speed Shift Technology is an energy efficient method of frequency control by the
hardware rather than relying on OS control. OS is aware of available hardware P-states
and request a desired P-state or it can let Hardware determine the P-state. The OS
request is based on its workload requirements and awareness of processor capabilities.
Processor decision is based on the different system constraints for example: Workload
demand, thermal limits while taking into consideration the minimum and maximum
levels and activity window of performance requested by the operating system.

For more details, refer to the following document (see related documents section):
• Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual (SDM), Volume 3B.

4.2.2 Low-Power Idle States


When the processor is idle, low-power idle states (C-states) are used to save power.
More power savings actions are taken for numerically higher C-states. However, deeper
C-states have longer exit and entry latencies. Resolution of C-states occur at the
thread, processor IA core, and processor package level. Thread-level C-states are
available if Intel Hyper-Threading Technology is enabled.

Caution: Long term reliability cannot be assured unless all the Low-Power Idle States are
enabled.

Figure 4-3. Idle Power Management Breakdown of the Processor IA Cores

Thread 0 Thread 1 Thread 0 Thread 1

Core 0 State Core N State

Processor Package State

While individual threads can request low-power C-states, power saving actions only
take place once the processor IA core C-state is resolved. processor IA core C-states
are automatically resolved by the processor. For thread and processor IA core C-states,
a transition to and from C0 state is required before entering any other C-state.

66 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

4.2.3 Requesting Low-Power Idle States


The primary software interfaces for requesting low-power idle states are through the
MWAIT instruction with sub-state hints and the HLT instruction (for C1 and C1E).
However, software may make C-state requests using the legacy method of I/O reads
from the ACPI-defined processor clock control registers, referred to as P_LVLx. This
method of requesting C-states provides legacy support for operating systems that
initiate C-state transitions using I/O reads.

For legacy operating systems, P_LVLx I/O reads are converted within the processor to
the equivalent MWAIT C-state request. Therefore, P_LVLx reads do not directly result in
I/O reads to the system. The feature, known as I/O MWAIT redirection, should be
enabled in the BIOS.

The BIOS can write to the C-state range field of the PMG_IO_CAPTURE MSR to restrict
the range of I/O addresses that are trapped and emulate MWAIT like functionality. Any
P_LVLx reads outside of this range do not cause an I/O redirection to MWAIT(Cx) like
request. They fall through like a normal I/O instruction.

When P_LVLx I/O instructions are used, MWAIT sub-states cannot be defined. The
MWAIT sub-state is always zero if I/O MWAIT redirection is used. By default,
P_LVLx I/O redirections enable the MWAIT 'break on EFLAGS.IF’ feature that triggers a
wake up on an interrupt, even if interrupts are masked by EFLAGS.IF.

4.2.4 Processor IA Core C-State Rules


The following are general rules for all processor IA core C-states, unless specified
otherwise:
• A processor IA core C-State is determined by the lowest numerical thread state
(such as Thread 0 requests C1E while Thread 1 requests C3 state, resulting in a
processor IA core C1E state). Refer Table 4-6, “G, S, and C Interface State
Combinations”.
• A processor IA core transitions to C0 state when:
— An interrupt occurs
— There is an access to the monitored address if the state was entered using an
MWAIT/Timed MWAIT instruction
— The deadline corresponding to the Timed MWAIT instruction expires
• An interrupt directed toward a single thread wakes up only that thread.
• If any thread in a processor IA core is active (in C0 state), the core’s C-state will
resolve to C0.
• Any interrupt coming into the processor package may wake any processor IA core.
• A system reset re-initializes all processor IA cores.

processor IA core C0 State

The normal operating state of a processor IA core where code is being executed.

processor IA core C1/C1E State

C1/C1E is a low-power state entered when all threads within a processor IA core
execute a HLT or MWAIT(C1/C1E) instruction.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 67
Power Management

A System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler returns execution to either Normal


state or the C1/C1E state. See the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer’s Manual for more information.

While a processor IA core is in C1/C1E state, it processes bus snoops and snoops from
other threads. For more information on C1E, see Section 4.2.5.

processor IA core C3 State

Individual threads of a processor IA core can enter the C3 state by initiating a P_LVL2
I/O read to the P_BLK or an MWAIT(C3) instruction. A processor IA core in C3 state
flushes the contents of its L1 instruction cache, L1 data cache, and L2 cache to the
shared LLC, while maintaining its architectural state. All processor IA core clocks are
stopped at this point. Because the processor IA core’s caches are flushed, the processor
does not wake any processor IA core that is in the C3 state when either a snoop is
detected or when another processor IA core accesses cacheable memory.

processor IA core C6 State

Individual threads of a processor IA core can enter the C6 state by initiating a P_LVL3
I/O read or an MWAIT(C6) instruction. Before entering processor IA core C6 state, the
processor IA core will save its architectural state to a dedicated SRAM. Once complete,
a processor IA core will have its voltage reduced to zero volts. During exit, the
processor IA core is powered on and its architectural state is restored.

processor IA core C7-C8 States

Individual threads of a processor IA core can enter the C7 orC8 state by initiating a
P_LVL4, P_LVL5, P_LVL6, P_LVL7 I/O read (respectively) to the P_BLK or by an
MWAIT(C7/C8/C9/C10) instruction. The processor IA core C7-C8 state exhibits the
same behavior as the processor IA core C6 state.

C-State Auto-Demotion

In general, deeper C-states, such as C6 or C7, have long latencies and have higher
energy entry/exit costs. The resulting performance and energy penalties become
significant when the entry/exit frequency of a deeper C-state is high. Therefore,
incorrect or inefficient usage of deeper C-states have a negative impact on battery life
and idle power. To increase residency and improve battery life and idle power in deeper
C-states, the processor supports C-state auto-demotion.

There are two C-State auto-demotion options:


• C7/C6 to C3
• C7/C6/C3 To C1

The decision to demote a processor IA core from C6/C7 to C3 or C3/C6/C7 to C1 is


based on each processor IA core’s immediate residency history. Upon each processor IA
core C6/C7 request, the processor IA core C-state is demoted to C3 or C1 until a
sufficient amount of residency has been established. At that point, a processor IA core
is allowed to go into C3/C6 or C7. Each option can be run concurrently or individually. If
the interrupt rate experienced on a processor IA core is high and the processor IA core
is rarely in a deep C-state between such interrupts, the processor IA core can be
demoted to a C3 or C1 state. A higher interrupt pattern is required to demote a
processor IA core to C1 as compared to C3.

68 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

This feature is disabled by default. BIOS should enable it in the


PMG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL register. The auto-demotion policy is also configured by
this register.

4.2.5 Package C-States


The processor supports C0, C2, C3, C6, C7, and C8 package states. The following is a
summary of the general rules for package C-state entry. These apply to all package C-
states, unless specified otherwise:
• A package C-state request is determined by the lowest numerical processor IA core
C-state amongst all processor IA cores.
• A package C-state is automatically resolved by the processor depending on the
processor IA core idle power states and the status of the platform components.
— Each processor IA core can be at a lower idle power state than the package if
the platform does not grant the processor permission to enter a requested
package C-state.
— The platform may allow additional power savings to be realized in the
processor.
— For package C-states, the processor is not required to enter C0 before entering
any other C-state.
— Entry into a package C-state may be subject to auto-demotion – that is, the
processor may keep the package in a deeper package C-state then requested
by the operating system if the processor determines, using heuristics, that the
deeper C-state results in better power/performance.

The processor exits a package C-state when a break event is detected. Depending on
the type of break event, the processor does the following:
• If a processor IA core break event is received, the target processor IA core is
activated and the break event message is forwarded to the target processor IA
core.
— If the break event is not masked, the target processor IA core enters the
processor IA core C0 state and the processor enters package C0.
— If the break event is masked, the processor attempts to re-enter its previous
package state.
• If the break event was due to a memory access or snoop request,
— But the platform did not request to keep the processor in a higher package C-
state, the package returns to its previous C-state.
— And the platform requests a higher power C-state, the memory access or snoop
request is serviced and the package remains in the higher power C-state.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 69
Power Management

Figure 4-4. Package C-State Entry and Exit

Package C0

This is the normal operating state for the processor. The processor remains in the
normal state when at least one of its processor IA cores is in the C0 or C1 state or when
the platform has not granted permission to the processor to go into a low-power state.
Individual processor IA cores may be in deeper power idle states while the package is
in C0 state.

Package C2 State

Package C2 state is an internal processor state that cannot be explicitly requested by


software. A processor enters Package C2 state when either:
• All processor IA cores have requested a C3 or deeper power state and all graphics
processor IA cores requested are in RC6, but constraints (LTR, programmed timer
events in the near future, and so forth) prevent entry to any state deeper than C2
state.
• Or, all processor IA cores have requested a C3 or deeper power state and all
graphics processor IA cores requested are in RC6 and a memory access request is
received. Upon completion of all outstanding memory requests, the processor
transitions back into a deeper package C-state.

Package C3 State

A processor enters the package C3 low-power state when:


• At least one processor IA core is in the C3 state.

70 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

• The other processor IA cores are in a C3 or deeper power state, and the processor
has been granted permission by the platform.
• The platform has not granted a request to a package C6/C7 state or deeper state
but has allowed a package C3 state.

In package C3-state, the LLC shared cache is valid.

Package C6 State

A processor enters the package C6 low-power state when:


• At least one processor IA core is in the C6 state.
• The other processor IA cores are in a C6 or deeper power state, and the processor
has been granted permission by the platform.
• The platform has not granted a package C7 or deeper request but has allowed a C6
package state.

In package C6 state, all processor IA cores have saved their architectural state and
have had their voltages reduced to zero volts. It is possible the LLC shared cache is
flushed and turned off in package C6 state.

Package C7 State

The processor enters the package C7 low-power state when all processor IA cores are
in the C7 or deeper state and the operating system may request that the LLC will be
flushed.

Processor IA core break events are handled the same way as in package C3 or C6.

Upon exit of the package C7 state, the LLC will be partially enabled once a processor IA
core wakes up if it was fully flushed, and will be fully enabled once the processor has
stayed out of C7 for a preset amount of time. Power is saved since this prevents the
LLC from being re-populated only to be immediately flushed again. Some VRs are
reduce to 0V.

Package C8 State

The processor enters C8 states when the processor IA cores lower numerical state is
C8.

The C8 state is similar to C7 state, but in addition, the LLC is flushed in a single step,
Vcc and VccGT are reduced to 0V. The display engine stays on.

InstantGo

InstantGo is a platform state. On display time out the OS requests the processor to
enter package C10 and platform devices at RTD3 (or disabled) in order to attain low
power in idle.

Dynamic LLC Sizing

When all processor IA cores request C7 or deeper C-state, internal heuristics


dynamically flushes the LLC. Once the processor IA cores enter a deep C-state,
depending on their MWAIT sub-state request, the LLC is either gradually flushed N-
ways at a time or flushed all at once. Upon the processor IA cores exiting to C0 state,
the LLC is gradually expanded based on internal heuristics.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 71
Power Management

4.2.6 Package C-States and Display Resolutions


The integrated graphics engine has the frame buffer located in system memory. When
the display is updated, the graphics engine fetches display data from system memory.
Different screen resolutions and refresh rates have different memory latency
requirements. These requirements may limit the deepest Package C-state the
processor can enter. Other elements that may affect the deepest Package C-state
available are the following:
• Display is on or off

• Native or non-native resolution

Note: Display resolution is not the only factor influencing the deepest Package C-state the
processor can get into. Device latencies, interrupt response latencies, and core C-states
are among other factors that influence the final package C-state the processor can
enter.

4.3 Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) Power


Management
The main memory is power managed during normal operation and in low-power ACPI
C-states.

4.3.1 Disabling Unused System Memory Outputs


Any system memory (SM) interface signal that goes to a memory in which it is not
connected to any actual memory devices (such as SODIMM connector is unpopulated,
or is single-sided) is tri-stated. The benefits of disabling unused SM signals are:
• Reduced power consumption.
• Reduced possible overshoot/undershoot signal quality issues seen by the processor
I/O buffer receivers caused by reflections from potentially un-terminated
transmission lines.

72 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

When a given rank is not populated, the corresponding control signals (CLK_P/CLK_N/
CKE/ODT/CS) are not driven.

At reset, all rows should be assumed to be populated, until it can be proven that they
are not populated. This is due to the fact that when CKE is tri-stated with a DRAMs
present, the DRAMs are not ensured to maintain data integrity. CKE tri-state should be
enabled by BIOS where appropriate, since at reset all rows should be assumed to be
populated.

4.3.2 DRAM Power Management and Initialization


The processor implements extensive support for power management on the memory
interface.Each channel drives 4 CKE pins, one per rank.

The CKE is one of the power-saving means. When CKE is off, the internal DDR clock is
disabled and the DDR power is reduced. The power-saving differs according to the
selected mode and the DDR type used. For more information, refer to the IDD table in
the DDR specification.

The processor supports four different types of power-down modes in package C0 state.
The different power-down modes can be enabled through configuring PM PDWN
configuration register. The type of CKE power-down can be configured through
PDWN_mode (bits 15:12) and the idle timer can be configured through
PDWN_idle_counter (bits 11:0). The different power-down modes supported are:
• No power-down (CKE disable)
• Active power-down (APD): This mode is entered if there are open pages when
de-asserting CKE. In this mode the open pages are retained. Power-saving in this
mode is the lowest. Power consumption of DDR is defined by IDD3P. Exiting this
mode is fined by tXP – small number of cycles. For this mode, DRAM DLL should be
on.
• PPD/DLL-off: In this mode the data-in DLLs on DDR are off. Power-saving in this
mode is the best among all power modes. Power consumption is defined by IDD2P.
Exiting this mode is defined by tXP, but also tXPDLL (10–20 according to DDR type)
cycles until first data transfer is allowed. For this mode, DRAM DLL should be off.
• Precharged power-down (PPD): This mode is entered if all banks in DDR are
precharged when de-asserting CKE. Power-saving in this mode is intermediate –
better than APD, but less than DLL-off. Power consumption is defined by IDD2P.
Exiting this mode is defined by tXP. The difference from APD mode is that when
waking-up, all page-buffers are empty.) The LPDDR does not have a DLL. As a
result, the power savings are as good as PPD/DDL-off but will have lower exit
latency and higher performance.

The CKE is determined per rank, whenever it is inactive. Each rank has an idle counter.
The idle-counter starts counting as soon as the rank has no accesses, and if it expires,
the rank may enter power-down while no new transactions to the rank arrives to
queues. The idle-counter begins counting at the last incoming transaction arrival.

It is important to understand that since the power-down decision is per rank, the IMC
can find many opportunities to power down ranks, even while running memory
intensive applications; the savings are significant (may be few Watts, according to DDR
specification). This is significant when each channel is populated with more ranks.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 73
Power Management

Selection of power modes should be according to power-performance or thermal trade-


off of a given system:
• When trying to achieve maximum performance and power or thermal consideration
is not an issue: use no power-down
• In a system which tries to minimize power-consumption, try using the deepest
power-down mode possible – PPD/DLL-off with a low idle timer value
• In high-performance systems with dense packaging (that is, tricky thermal design)
the power-down mode should be considered in order to reduce the heating and
avoid DDR throttling caused by the heating.

The default value that BIOS configures in PM PDWN configuration register is 6080 –
that is, PPD/DLL-off mode with idle timer of 0x80, or 128 DCLKs. This is a balanced
setting with deep power-down mode and moderate idle timer value.

The idle timer expiration count defines the # of DCLKs that a rank is idle that causes
entry to the selected power mode. As this timer is set to a shorter time the IMC will
have more opportunities to put the DDR in power-down. There is no BIOS hook to set
this register. Customers choosing to change the value of this register can do it by
changing it in the BIOS. For experiments, this register can be modified in real time if
BIOS does not lock the IMC registers.

4.3.2.1 Initialization Role of CKE


During power-up, CKE is the only input to the SDRAM that has its level recognized
(other than the reset pin) once power is applied. It should be driven LOW by the DDR
controller to make sure the SDRAM components float DQ and DQS during power-up.
CKE signals remain LOW (while any reset is active) until the BIOS writes to a
configuration register. Using this method, CKE is ensured to remain inactive for much
longer than the specified 200 micro-seconds after power and clocks to SDRAM devices
are stable.

4.3.2.2 Conditional Self-Refresh


During S0 idle state, system memory may be conditionally placed into self-refresh state
when the processor is in package C3 or deeper power state. Refer to Section 4.6.1.1 for
more details on conditional self-refresh with Intel HD Graphics enabled.

When entering the S3 – Suspend-to-RAM (STR) state or S0 conditional self-refresh, the


processor IA core flushes pending cycles and then enters SDRAM ranks that are not
used by the processor graphics into self-refresh. The CKE signals remain LOW so the
SDRAM devices perform self-refresh.

The target behavior is to enter self-refresh for package C3 or deeper power states as
long as there are no memory requests to service.

4.3.2.3 Dynamic Power-Down


Dynamic power-down of memory is employed during normal operation. Based on idle
conditions, a given memory rank may be powered down. The IMC implements
aggressive CKE control to dynamically put the DRAM devices in a power-down state.
The processor IA core controller can be configured to put the devices in active power-
down (CKE de-assertion with open pages) or precharge power-down (CKE de-assertion
with all pages closed). Precharge power-down provides greater power savings but has
a bigger performance impact, since all pages will first be closed before putting the
devices in power-down mode.

If dynamic power-down is enabled, all ranks are powered up before doing a refresh
cycle and all ranks are powered down at the end of refresh.

4.3.2.4 DRAM I/O Power Management


Unused signals should be disabled to save power and reduce electromagnetic
interference. This includes all signals associated with an unused memory channel.
Clocks, CKE, ODT and CS signals are controlled per DIMM rank and will be powered
down for unused ranks.

The I/O buffer for an unused signal should be tri-stated (output driver disabled), the
input receiver (differential sense-amp) should be disabled, and any DLL circuitry
related ONLY to unused signals should be disabled. The input path should be gated to
prevent spurious results due to noise on the unused signals (typically handled
automatically when input receiver is disabled).

4.3.3 DDR Electrical Power Gating (EPG)


The DDR I/O of the processor supports Electrical Power Gating (DDR-EPG) while the
processor is at C3 or deeper power state.

In C3 or deeper power state, the processor internally gates VDDQ for the majority of
the logic to reduce idle power while keeping all critical DDR pins such as CKE and VREF
in the appropriate state.

In C7 or deeper power state, the processor internally gates VCCIO for all non-critical
state to reduce idle power.

In S3 or C-state transitions, the DDR does not go through training mode and will
restore the previous training information.

4.3.4 Power Training


BIOS MRC performing Power Training steps to reduce DDR I/O power while keeping
reasonable operational margins, still ensuring platform operation. The algorithms
attempt to weaken ODT, driver strength and the related buffers parameters both on the
MC and the DRAM side and find the best possible trade-off between the total I/O power
and the operational margins using advanced mathematical models.

4.6 Processor Graphics Power Management


4.6.1 Memory Power Savings Technologies
4.6.1.1 Intel® Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel® RMPM)
Intel® Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel® RMPM) conditionally places memory
into self-refresh when the processor is in package C3 or deeper power state to allow
the system to remain in the deeper power states longer for memory not reserved for
graphics memory. Intel RMPM functionality depends on graphics/display state (relevant
only when processor graphics is being used), as well as memory traffic patterns
generated by other connected I/O devices.

4.6.1.2 Intel® Smart 2D Display Technology (Intel® S2DDT)


Intel S2DDT reduces display refresh memory traffic by reducing memory reads
required for display refresh. Power consumption is reduced by less accesses to the IMC.
Intel S2DDT is only enabled in single pipe mode.

76 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

Intel S2DDT is most effective with:


• Display images well suited to compression, such as text windows, slide shows, and
so on. Poor examples are 3D games.
• Static screens such as screens with significant portions of the background showing
2D applications, processor benchmarks, and so on, or conditions when the
processor is idle. Poor examples are full-screen 3D games and benchmarks that flip
the display image at or near display refresh rates.

4.6.2 Display Power Savings Technologies


4.6.2.1 Intel® (Seamless & Static) Display Refresh Rate Switching
(DRRS) with eDP* Port
Intel DRRS provides a mechanism where the monitor is placed in a slower refresh rate
(the rate at which the display is updated). The system is smart enough to know that
the user is not displaying either 3D or media like a movie where specific refresh rates
are required. The technology is very useful in an environment such as a plane where
the user is in battery mode doing E-mail, or other standard office applications. It is also
useful where the user may be viewing web pages or social media sites while in battery
mode.

4.6.2.2 Intel® Automatic Display Brightness


Intel Automatic Display Brightness feature dynamically adjusts the backlight brightness
based upon the current ambient light environment. This feature requires an additional
sensor to be on the panel front. The sensor receives the changing ambient light
conditions and sends the interrupts to the Intel Graphics driver. As per the change in
Lux, (current ambient light illuminance), the new backlight setting can be adjusted
through BLC. The converse applies for a brightly lit environment. Intel Automatic
Display Brightness increases the backlight setting.

4.6.2.3 Smooth Brightness


The Smooth Brightness feature is the ability to make fine grained changes to the screen
brightness. All Windows* 10 system that support brightness control are required to
support Smooth Brightness control and it should be supporting 101 levels of brightness
control. Apart from the Graphics driver changes, there may be few System BIOS
changes required to make this feature functional.

4.6.2.4 Intel® Display Power Saving Technology (Intel® DPST) 6.0


The Intel DPST technique achieves backlight power savings while maintaining a good
visual experience. This is accomplished by adaptively enhancing the displayed image
while decreasing the backlight brightness simultaneously. The goal of this technique is
to provide equivalent end-user-perceived image quality at a decreased backlight power
level.
1. The original (input) image produced by the operating system or application is
analyzed by the Intel DPST subsystem. An interrupt to Intel DPST software is
generated whenever a meaningful change in the image attributes is detected. (A
meaningful change is when the Intel DPST software algorithm determines that
enough brightness, contrast, or color change has occurred to the displaying images
that the image enhancement and backlight control needs to be altered.)

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 77
Power Management

2. Intel DPST subsystem applies an image-specific enhancement to increase image


contrast, brightness, and other attributes.
3. A corresponding decrease to the backlight brightness is applied simultaneously to
produce an image with similar user-perceived quality (such as brightness) as the
original image.

Intel DPST 6.0 has improved the software algorithms and has minor hardware changes
to better handle backlight phase-in and ensures the documented and validated method
to interrupt hardware phase-in.

4.6.2.5 Panel Self-Refresh 2 (PSR 2)


Panel Self-Refresh feature allows the Processor Graphics core to enter low-power state
when the frame buffer content is not changing constantly. This feature is available on
panels capable of supporting Panel Self-Refresh. Apart from being able to support, the
eDP* panel should be eDP 1.4 compliant. PSR 2 adds partial frame updates and
requires an eDP 1.4 compliant panel.
PSR2 is limited to 3200x2000@60 Maximum display resolution.

4.6.2.6 Low-Power Single Pipe (LPSP)


Low-power single pipe is a power conservation feature that helps save power by
keeping the inactive pipes powered OFF. This feature is enabled only in a single display
configuration without any scaling functionalities. This feature is supported from 4th
Generation Intel® Core™ processor family onwards. LPSP is achieved by keeping a
single pipe enabled during eDP* only with minimal display pipeline support. This
feature is panel independent and works with any eDP panel (port A) in single display
mode.

4.6.3 Processor Graphics Core Power Savings Technologies


4.6.3.1 Intel® Graphics Dynamic Frequency
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is the ability of the processor IA cores and graphics
(Graphics Dynamic Frequency) cores to opportunistically increase frequency and/or
voltage above the guaranteed processor and graphics frequency for the given part.
Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency is a performance feature that makes use of unused
package power and thermals to increase application performance. The increase in
frequency is determined by how much power and thermal budget is available in the
package, and the application demand for additional processor or graphics performance.
The processor IA core control is maintained by an embedded controller. The graphics
driver dynamically adjusts between P-States to maintain optimal performance, power,
and thermals. The graphics driver will always place the graphics engine in its lowest
possible P-State. Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency requires BIOS support. Additional
power and thermal budget should be available.

4.6.3.2 Intel® Graphics Render Standby Technology (Intel® GRST)


The final power savings technology from Intel happens while the system is asleep. This
is another technology where the voltage is adjusted down. For RC6, the voltage is
adjusted very low, or very close to zero, what may reduced power by over 1000.

78 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Power Management

4.6.3.3 Dynamic FPS (DFPS)


Dynamic FPS (DFPS) or dynamic frame-rate control is a runtime feature for improving
power-efficiency for 3D workloads. Its purpose is to limit the frame-rate of full screen
3D applications without compromising on user experience. By limiting the frame rate,
the load on the graphics engine is reduced, giving an opportunity to run the Processor
Graphics at lower speeds, resulting in power savings. This feature works in both AC/DC
modes.

4.7 Voltage Optimization


Voltage Optimization opportunistically provides reduction in power consumption, that
is, a boost in performance at a given PL1. Over time the benefit is reduced. There is no
change to base frequency or turbo frequency. During system validation and tuning, this
feature should be disabled to reflect processor power and performance that is expected
over time.

This feature is available on selected SKUs.

5 Thermal Management

5.1 Processor Thermal Management


The thermal solution provides both component-level and system-level thermal
management. To allow optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-
based systems, the system/processor thermal solution should be designed so that the
processor:
• Bare Die Parts: Remains below the maximum junction temperature (TjMAX)
specification at the maximum thermal design power (TDP).
• Lidded Parts: Remains below the maximum case temperature (Tcmax) specification
at the maximum thermal design power.
• Conforms to system constraints, such as system acoustics, system skin-
temperatures, and exhaust-temperature requirements.

Caution: Thermal specifications given in this chapter are on the component and package level
and apply specifically to the processor. Operating the processor outside the specified
limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other
components in the system.

5.1.1 Thermal Considerations


The processor TDP is the maximum sustained power that should be used for design of
the processor thermal solution. TDP is a power dissipation and component temperature
operating condition limit, specified in this document, that is validated during
manufacturing for the base configuration when executing a near worst case
commercially available workload as specified by Intel for the SKU segment. TDP may be
exceeded for short periods of time or if running a very high power workload.

To allow the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based


systems, the processor must remain within the minimum and maximum component
temperature specifications. For lidded parts, the appropriate case temperature (TCASE)
specifications is defined by the applicable thermal profile. For bare die parts the
component temperature specification is the applicable Tj_max.

Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may affect the
long-term reliability of the processor and system.

The processor integrates multiple processing IA cores, graphics cores and for some
SKUs a PCH, or a PCH and EDRAM, on a single package.This may result in power
distribution differences across the package and should be considered when designing
the thermal solution.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor IA cores to run faster than the base
frequency. It is invoked opportunistically and automatically as long as the processor is
conforming to its temperature, voltage, power delivery and current control limits. When
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is enabled:
• Applications are expected to run closer to TDP more often as the processor will
attempt to maximize performance by taking advantage of estimated available
energy budget in the processor package.

80 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Thermal Management

• The processor may exceed the TDP for short durations to utilize any available
thermal capacitance within the thermal solution. The duration and time of such
operation can be limited by platform runtime configurable registers within the
processor.
• Graphics peak frequency operation is based on the assumption of only one of the
graphics domains (GT) being active. This definition is similar to the IA core Turbo
concept, where peak turbo frequency can be achieved when only one IA core is
active. Depending on the workload being applied and the distribution across the
graphics domains the user may not observe peak graphics frequency for a given
workload or benchmark.
• Thermal solutions and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal
design guidance may experience thermal and performance issues.

Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 availability may vary between the different SKUs.

5.1.2 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Power Monitoring


When operating in turbo mode, the processor monitors its own power and adjusts the
processor and graphics frequencies to maintain the average power within limits over a
thermally significant time period. The processor estimates the package power for all
components on package. In the event that a workload causes the temperature to
exceed program temperature limits, the processor will protect itself using the Adaptive
Thermal Monitor.

5.1.3 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Power Control


Illustration of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 power control is shown in the
following sections and figures. Multiple controls operate simultaneously allowing
customization for multiple system thermal and power limitations. These controls allow
for turbo optimizations within system constraints and are accessible using MSR, MMIO,
or PECI interfaces.

5.1.3.1 Package Power Control


The package power control settings of PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 and Tau allow the designer to
configure Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to match the platform power delivery and
package thermal solution limitations.
• Power Limit 1 (PL1): A threshold for average power that will not exceed -
recommend to set to equal TDP power. PL1 should not be set higher than thermal
solution cooling limits.
• Power Limit 2 (PL2): A threshold that if exceeded, the PL2 rapid power limiting
algorithms will attempt to limit the spike above PL2.
• Power Limit 3 (PL3): A threshold that if exceeded, the PL3 rapid power limiting
algorithms will attempt to limit the duty cycle of spikes above PL3 by reactively
limiting frequency. This is an optional setting
• Power Limit 4 (PL4): A limit that will not be exceeded, the PL4 power limiting
algorithms will preemptively limit frequency to prevent spikes above PL4.
• Turbo Time Parameter (Tau): An averaging constant used for PL1 exponential
weighted moving average (EWMA) power calculation.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 81
Thermal Management

Note: Implementation of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 only requires configuring PL1, PL1
Tau, and PL2.

Note: PL3 and PL4 are disabled by default.

Figure 5-1. Package Power Control

5.1.3.2 Platform Power Control


The processor supports Psys (Platform Power) to enhance processor power
management. The Psys signal needs to be sourced from a compatible charger circuit
and routed to the IMVP8 (voltage regulator). This signal will provide the total thermally
relevant platform power consumption (processor and rest of platform) via SVID to the
processor.

When the Psys signal is properly implemented, the system designer can utilize the
package power control settings of PsysPL1/Tau, PsysPL2 and PsysPL3 for additional
manageability to match the platform power delivery and platform thermal solution
limitations for Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. The operation of the PsysPL1/tau,
PsysPL2 and PsysPL3 is analogous to the processor power limits described in
Section 5.1.3.1.
• Platform Power Limit 1 (PsysPL1): A threshold for average platform power that will
not be exceeded - recommend to set to equal platform thermal capability.
• Platform Power Limit 2 (PsysPL2): A threshold that if exceeded, the PsysPL2 rapid
power limiting algorithms will attempt to limit the spikes above PsysPL2.
• Platform Power Limit 3 (PsysPL3): A threshold that if exceeded, the PsysPL3 rapid
power limiting algorithms will attempt to limit the duty cycle of spikes above
PsysPL3 by reactively limiting frequency.
• PsysPL1 Tau: An averaging constant used for PsysPL1 exponential weighted moving
average (EWMA) power calculation.

82 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Thermal Management

• The Psys signal and associated power limits / Tau are optional for the system
designer and disabled by default.
• The Psys data will not include power consumption for charging.

5.1.3.3 Turbo Time Parameter (Tau)


Turbo Time Parameter (Tau) is a mathematical parameter (units of seconds) that
controls the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 algorithm. During a maximum power
turbo event, the processor could sustain PL2 for a duration longer than the Turbo Time
Parameter. If the power value and/or Turbo Time Parameter is changed during runtime,
it may take some time based on the new Turbo Time Parameter level for the algorithm
to settle at the new control limits. The time varies depending on the magnitude of the
change, power limits, and other factors. There is an individual Turbo Time Parameter
associated with Package Power Control and Platform Power Control.

5.1.4 Configurable TDP (cTDP) and Low-Power Mode


Configurable TDP (cTDP) and Low-Power Mode (LPM) form a design option where the
processor's behavior and package TDP are dynamically adjusted to a desired system
performance and power envelope. Configurable TDP and Low-Power Mode technologies
offer opportunities to differentiate system design while running active workloads on
select processor SKUs through scalability, configuration and adaptability. The scenarios
or methods by which each technology is used are customizable but typically involve
changes to PL1 and associated frequencies for the scenario with a resultant change in
performance depending on system's usage. Either technology can be triggered by (but
are not limited to) changes in OS power policies or hardware events such as docking a
system, flipping a switch or pressing a button. cTDP and LPM are designed to be
configured dynamically and do not require an operating system reboot.

Note: Configurable TDP and Low-Power Mode technologies are not battery life improvement
technologies.

5.1.4.1 Configurable TDP

Note: Configurable TDP availability may vary between the different SKUs.

With cTDP, the processor is now capable of altering the maximum sustained power with
an alternate processor IA core base frequency. Configurable TDP allows operation in
situations where extra cooling is available or situations where a cooler and quieter
mode of operation is desired. Configurable TDP can be enabled using Intel's DPTF driver
or through HW/EC firmware. Enabling cTDP using the DPTF driver is recommended as
Intel does not provide specific application or EC source code.

cTDP consists of three modes as shown in the following table.

Table 5-1. Configurable TDP Modes (Sheet 1 of 2)


Mode Description

The average power dissipation and junction temperature operating condition limit,
specified in Table 5-2 for the SKU Segment and Configuration, for which the processor is
Base validated during manufacturing when executing an associated Intel-specified high-
complexity workload at the processor IA core frequency corresponding to the
configuration and SKU.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 83
Thermal Management

Table 5-1. Configurable TDP Modes (Sheet 2 of 2)


Mode Description

The SKU-specific processor IA core frequency where manufacturing confirms logical


functionality within the set of operating condition limits specified for the SKU segment
TDP-Up and Configurable TDP-Up configuration in Table 5-2. The Configurable TDP-Up Frequency
and corresponding TDP is higher than the processor IA core Base Frequency and SKU
Segment Base TDP.

The processor IA core frequency where manufacturing confirms logical functionality


within the set of operating condition limits specified for the SKU segment and
TDP-Down Configurable TDP-Down configuration in Table 5-2. The Configurable TDP-Down
Frequency and corresponding TDP is lower than the processor IA core Base Frequency
and SKU Segment Base TDP.

In each mode, the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 power limits are reprogrammed
along with a new OS controlled frequency range. The DPTF driver assists in all these
operations. The cTDP mode does not change the max per-processor IA core turbo
frequency.

5.1.4.2 Low-Power Mode


Low-Power Mode (LPM) can provide cooler and quieter system operation. By combining
several active power limiting techniques, the processor can consume less power while
running at equivalent low frequencies. Active power is defined as processor power
consumed while a workload is running and does not refer to the power consumed
during idle modes of operation. LPM is only available using the Intel DPTF driver.

Through the DPTF driver, LPM can be configured to use each of the following methods
to reduce active power:
• Restricting package power control limits and Intel Turbo Boost Technology
availability Off-Lining processor IA core activity (Move processor traffic to a subset
of cores)
• Placing a processor IA Core at LFM or LSF (Lowest Supported Frequency) Utilizing
IA clock modulation.

LPM power as listed in the TDP Specifications table is defined at point which processor
IA core working at LSF, GT = RPn and 1 IA core active.

Off-lining processor IA core activity is the ability to dynamically scale a workload to a


limited subset of cores in conjunction with a lower turbo power limit. It is one of the
main vectors available to reduce active power. However, not all processor activity is
ensured to be able to shift to a subset of cores. Shifting a workload to a limited subset
of cores allows other processor IA cores to remain idle and save power. Therefore,
when LPM is enabled, less power is consumed at equivalent frequencies.

Minimum Frequency Mode MFM of operation, which is the lowest supported frequency
(LSF) at the LFM voltage, has been made available for use under LPM for further
reduction in active power beyond LFM capability to enable cooler and quieter modes of
operation.

5.1.5 Thermal Management Features


Occasionally the processor may operate in conditions that are near to its maximum
operating temperature. This can be due to internal overheating or overheating within
the platform. In order to protect the processor and the platform from thermal failure,

84 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Thermal Management

several thermal management features exist to reduce package power consumption and
thereby temperature in order to remain within normal operating limits. Furthermore,
the processor supports several methods to reduce memory power.

5.1.5.1 Adaptive Thermal Monitor


The purpose of the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is to reduce processor IA core power
consumption and temperature until it operates below its maximum operating
temperature. Processor IA core power reduction is achieved by:
• Adjusting the operating frequency (using the processor IA core ratio multiplier) and
voltage.
• Modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor IA core clocks (duty
cycle).

The Adaptive Thermal Monitor can be activated when the package temperature,
monitored by any digital thermal sensor (DTS), meets its maximum operating
temperature. The maximum operating temperature implies maximum junction
temperature TjMAX.

Reaching the maximum operating temperature activates the Thermal Control Circuit
(TCC). When activated the TCC causes both the processor IA core and graphics core to
reduce frequency and voltage adaptively. The Adaptive Thermal Monitor will remain
active as long as the package temperature remains at its specified limit. Therefore, the
Adaptive Thermal Monitor will continue to reduce the package frequency and voltage
until the TCC is de-activated.

TjMAX is factory calibrated and is not user configurable. The default value is software
visible in the TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR, bits [23:16].

The Adaptive Thermal Monitor does not require any additional hardware, software
drivers, or interrupt handling routines. It is not intended as a mechanism to maintain
processor thermal control to PL1 = TDP. The system design should provide a thermal
solution that can maintain normal operation when PL1 = TDP within the intended usage
range.

Adaptive Thermal Monitor protection is always enabled.

5.1.5.1.1 TCC Activation Offset

TCC Activation Offset can be set as an offset from the maximum allowed component
temperature to lower the onset of TCC and Adaptive Thermal Monitor. In addition, the
processor has added an optional time window (Tau) to manage processor performance
at the TCC Activation offset value via an EWMA (Exponential Weighted Moving Average)
of temperature.

TCC Activation Offset with Tau=0

An offset (degrees Celsius) can be written to the TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR,


bits [29:24], the offset value will be subtracted from the value found in bits [23:16].
When the time window (Tau) is set to zero, there will be no averaging. The offset will be
subtracted from the TjMAX value and used as a new max temperature set point for
Adaptive Thermal Monitoring. This will have the same behavior as in prior products to
have TCC activation and Adaptive Thermal Monitor to occur at this lower target silicon
temperature.

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 85
Thermal Management

If enabled, the offset should be set lower than any other passive protection such as
ACPI _PSV trip points

TCC Activation Offset with Tau

To manage the processor with the EWMA (Exponential Weighted Moving Average) of
temperature, an offset (degrees Celsius) is written to the TEMPERATURE_TARGET
(0x1A2) MSR, bits [29:24], and the time window (Tau) is written to the
TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR [6:0]. The Offset value will be subtracted from
the value found in bits [23:16] and be the temperature.

The processor will manage to this average temperature by adjusting the frequency of
the various domains. The instantaneous Tj can briefly exceed the average temperature.
The magnitude and duration of the overshoot is managed by the time window value
(Tau).

This averaged temperature thermal management mechanism is in addition, and not


instead of TjMAX thermal management. That is, whether the TCC activation offset is 0 or
not, TCC Activation will occur at TjMAX.

5.1.5.1.2 Frequency / Voltage Control

Upon Adaptive Thermal Monitor activation, the processor attempts to dynamically


reduce processor temperature by lowering the frequency and voltage operating point.
The operating points are automatically calculated by the processor IA core itself and do
not require the BIOS to program them as with previous generations of Intel processors.
The processor IA core will scale the operating points such that:
• The voltage will be optimized according to the temperature, the processor IA core
bus ratio and number of processor IA cores in deep C-states.
• The processor IA core power and temperature are reduced while minimizing
performance degradation.

Once the temperature has dropped below the trigger temperature, the operating
frequency and voltage will transition back to the normal system operating point.

Once a target frequency/bus ratio is resolved, the processor IA core will transition to
the new target automatically.
• On an upward operating point transition the voltage transition precedes the
frequency transition.
• On a downward transition the frequency transition precedes the voltage transition.
• The processor continues to execute instructions. However, the processor will halt
instruction execution for frequency transitions.

If a processor load-based Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology/P-state transition


(through MSR write) is initiated while the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active, there are
two possible outcomes:
• If the P-state target frequency is higher than the processor IA core optimized
target frequency, the P-state transition will be deferred until the thermal event has
been completed.
• If the P-state target frequency is lower than the processor IA core optimized target
frequency, the processor will transition to the P-state operating point.

86 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Thermal Management

5.1.5.1.3 Clock Modulation

If the frequency/voltage changes are unable to end an Adaptive Thermal Monitor event,
the Adaptive Thermal Monitor will utilize clock modulation. Clock modulation is done by
alternately turning the clocks off and on at a duty cycle (ratio between clock “on” time
and total time) specific to the processor. The duty cycle is factory configured to 25% on
and 75% off and cannot be modified. The period of the duty cycle is configured to 32
microseconds when the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active. Cycle times are
independent of processor frequency. A small amount of hysteresis has been included to
prevent excessive clock modulation when the processor temperature is near its
maximum operating temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below the
maximum operating temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the Adaptive
Thermal Monitor goes inactive and clock modulation ceases. Clock modulation is
automatically engaged as part of the Adaptive Thermal Monitor activation when the
frequency/voltage targets are at their minimum settings. Processor performance will be
decreased when clock modulation is active. Snooping and interrupt processing are
performed in the normal manner while the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active.

Clock modulation will not be activated by the Package average temperature control
mechanism.

5.1.5.2 Digital Thermal Sensor


Each processor has multiple on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) that detects the
processor IA, GT and other areas of interest instantaneous temperature.

Temperature values from the DTS can be retrieved through:


• A software interface using processor Model Specific Register (MSR).
• A processor hardware interface as described in Platform Environmental Control
Interface (PECI).

When temperature is retrieved by the processor MSR, it is the instantaneous


temperature of the given DTS. When temperature is retrieved using PECI, it is the
average of the highest DTS temperature in the package over a 256 ms time window.
Intel recommends using the PECI reported temperature for platform thermal control
that benefits from averaging, such as fan speed control. The average DTS temperature
may not be a good indicator of package Adaptive Thermal Monitor activation or rapid
increases in temperature that triggers the Out of Specification status bit within the
PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS MSR 1B1h and IA32_THERM_STATUS MSR 19Ch.

Code execution is halted in C1 or deeper C- states. Package temperature can still be


monitored through PECI in lower C-states.

Unlike traditional thermal devices, the DTS outputs a temperature relative to the
maximum supported operating temperature of the processor (TjMAX), regardless of TCC
activation offset. It is the responsibility of software to convert the relative temperature
to an absolute temperature. The absolute reference temperature is readable in the
TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR 1A2h. The temperature returned by the DTS is an implied
negative integer indicating the relative offset from TjMAX. The DTS does not report
temperatures greater than TjMAX. The DTS-relative temperature readout directly
impacts the Adaptive Thermal Monitor trigger point. When a package DTS indicates
that it has reached the TCC activation (a reading of 0x0, except when the TCC
activation offset is changed), the TCC will activate and indicate an Adaptive Thermal
Monitor event. A TCC activation will lower both processor IA core and graphics core

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 87
Thermal Management

frequency, voltage, or both. Changes to the temperature can be detected using two
programmable thresholds located in the processor thermal MSRs. These thresholds
have the capability of generating interrupts using the processor IA core's local APIC.

5.1.5.2.1 Digital Thermal Sensor Accuracy (Taccuracy)

The error associated with DTS measurements will not exceed ±5 °C within the entire
operating range.

5.1.5.2.2 Fan Speed Control with Digital Thermal Sensor

Digital Thermal Sensor based fan speed control (TFAN) is a recommended feature to
achieve optimal thermal performance. At the TFAN temperature, Intel recommends full
cooling capability before the DTS reading reaches TjMAX.

5.1.5.3 PROCHOT# Signal


PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted by the processor when the TCC is active. Only a
single PROCHOT# pin exists at a package level. When any DTS temperature reaches
the TCC activation temperature, the PROCHOT# signal will be asserted. PROCHOT#
assertion policies are independent of Adaptive Thermal Monitor enabling.

5.1.5.4 Bi-Directional PROCHOT#


By default, the PROCHOT# signal is set to input only. When configured as an input or
bi-directional signal, PROCHOT# can be used for thermally protecting other platform
components should they overheat as well. When PROCHOT# is driven by an external
device:
• The package will immediately transition to the lowest P-State (Pn) supported by the
processor IA cores and graphics cores. This is contrary to the internally-generated
Adaptive Thermal Monitor response.
• Clock modulation is not activated.

The processor package will remain at the lowest supported P-state until the system de-
asserts PROCHOT#. The processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon
assertion and de-assertion of the PROCHOT# signal.

When PROCHOT# is configured as a bi-directional signal and PROCHOT# is asserted by


the processor, it is impossible for the processor to detect a system assertion of
PROCHOT#. The system assertion will have to wait until the processor de-asserts
PROCHOT# before PROCHOT# action can occur due to the system assertion. While the
processor is hot and asserting PROCHOT#, the power is reduced but the reduction rate
is slower than the system PROCHOT# response of < 100 us. The processor thermal
control is staged in smaller increments over many milliseconds. This may cause several
milliseconds of delay to a system assertion of PROCHOT# while the output function is
asserted.

5.1.5.5 Voltage Regulator Protection using PROCHOT#


PROCHOT# may be used for thermal protection of voltage regulators (VR). System
designers can create a circuit to monitor the VR temperature and assert PROCHOT#
and, if enabled, activate the TCC when the temperature limit of the VR is reached.
When PROCHOT# is configured as a bi-directional or input only signal, if the system
assertion of PROCHOT# is recognized by the processor, it will result in an immediate
transition to the lowest P-State (Pn) supported by the processor IA cores and graphics

88 Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2
Thermal Management

cores. Systems should still provide proper cooling for the VR and rely on bi-directional
PROCHOT# only as a backup in case of system cooling failure. Overall, the system
thermal design should allow the power delivery circuitry to operate within its
temperature specification even while the processor is operating at its TDP.

5.1.5.6 Thermal Solution Design and PROCHOT# Behavior


With a properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that
PROCHOT# will only be asserted for very short periods of time when running the most
power intensive applications. The processor performance impact due to these brief
periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable.
However, an under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive
assertion of PROCHOT# in the anticipated ambient environment may:
• Cause a noticeable performance loss.
• Result in prolonged operation at or above the specified maximum junction
temperature and affect the long-term reliability of the processor.
• May be incapable of cooling the processor even when the TCC is active continuously
(in extreme situations).

5.1.5.7 Low-Power States and PROCHOT# Behavior


Depending on package power levels during package C-states, outbound PROCHOT#
may de-assert while the processor is idle as power is removed from the signal. Upon
wake up, if the processor is still hot, the PROCHOT# will re-assert. Although, typically
package idle state residency should resolve any thermal issues. The PECI interface is
fully operational during all C-states and it is expected that the platform continues to
manage processor IA core and package thermals even during idle states by regularly
polling for thermal data over PECI.

5.1.5.8 THERMTRIP# Signal


Regardless of enabling the automatic or on-demand modes, in the event of a
catastrophic cooling failure, the package will automatically shut down when the silicon
has reached an elevated temperature that risks physical damage to the product. At this
point, the THERMTRIP# signal will go active.

5.1.5.9 Critical Temperature Detection


Critical Temperature detection is performed by monitoring the package temperature.
This feature is intended for graceful shutdown before the THERMTRIP# is activated.
However, the processor execution is not guaranteed between critical temperature and
THERMTRIP#. If the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is triggered and the temperature
remains high, a critical temperature status and sticky bit are latched in the
PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS MSR 1B1h and the condition also generates a thermal
interrupt, if enabled. For more details on the interrupt mechanism, refer to the Intel®
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual.

5.1.5.10 On-Demand Mode


The processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force
the processor to reduce its power consumption using clock modulation. This
mechanism is referred to as “On-Demand” mode and is distinct from Adaptive Thermal
Monitor and bi-directional PROCHOT#. The processor platforms should not rely on
software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor temperature. On-Demand

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 89
Thermal Management

Mode can be accomplished using processor MSR or chipset I/O emulation. On-Demand
Mode may be used in conjunction with the Adaptive Thermal Monitor. However, if the
system software tries to enable On-Demand mode at the same time the TCC is
engaged, the factory configured duty cycle of the TCC will override the duty cycle
selected by the On-Demand mode. If the I/O based and MSR-based On-Demand modes
are in conflict, the duty cycle selected by the I/O emulation-based On-Demand mode
will take precedence over the MSR-based On-Demand Mode.

5.1.5.11 MSR Based On-Demand Mode


If Bit 4 of the IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR is set to 1, the processor will
immediately reduce its power consumption using modulation of the internal processor
IA core clock, independent of the processor temperature. The duty cycle of the clock
modulation is programmable using bits [3:1] of the same IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION
MSR. In this mode, the duty cycle can be programmed in either 12.5% or 6.25%
increments (discoverable using CPUID). Thermal throttling using this method will
modulate each processor IA core's clock independently.

5.1.5.12 I/O Emulation-Based On-Demand Mode


I/O emulation-based clock modulation provides legacy support for operating system
software that initiates clock modulation through I/O writes to ACPI defined processor
clock control registers on the chipset (PROC_CNT). Thermal throttling using this
method will modulate all processor IA cores simultaneously.

5.1.6 Intel® Memory Thermal Management


The processor provides thermal protection for system memory by throttling memory
traffic when using either DIMM modules or a memory down implementation. Two levels
of throttling are supported by the processor, either a warm threshold or hot threshold
that is customizable through memory mapped I/O registers. Throttling based on the
warm threshold should be an intermediate level of throttling. Throttling based on the
hot threshold should be the most severe. The amount of throttling is dynamically
controlled by the processor.

Memory temperature can be acquired through an on-board thermal sensor (TS-on-


Board), retrieved by an embedded controller and reports to the processor through the
PECI 3.1 interface. This methodology is known as PECI injected temperatures, this is a
method of Closed Loop Thermal Management (CLTM). CLTM requires the use of a
physical thermal sensor. EXTTS# is another method of CLTM but it is only capable of
reporting memory thermal status to the processor. EXTTS# consists of two GPIO pins
on the PCH, where the state of the pins is communicated internally to the processor.

When a physical thermal sensor is not available to report temperature, the processor
supports Open Loop Thermal Management (OLTM) that estimates the power consumed
per rank of the memory using the processor's DRAM power meter. A per rank power is
associated with the warm and hot thresholds that, when exceeded, may trigger
memory thermal throttling.

5.3.5 Fan Speed Control Scheme with Digital Thermal Sensor


(DTS) 1.1
To correctly use DTS 1.1, the designer must first select a worst case scenario TAMBIENT,
and ensure that the Fan Speed Control (FSC) can provide a ΨCA that is equivalent or
greater than the ΨCA specification.

The DTS 1.1 implementation consists of two points: a ΨCA at TCONTROL and a ΨCA at
DTS = -1.

The ΨCA point at DTS = -1 defines the minimum ΨCA required at TDP considering the
worst case system design TAMBIENT design point:

ΨCA = (TCASE-MAX – TAMBIENT-TARGET) / TDP

For example, for a 91 W TDP part, the TCASE maximum is 63.7 °C and at a worst case
design point of 40 °C local ambient this will result in:

ΨCA = (63.7 – 40) / 91 = 0.26 °C/W

Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 97
Thermal Management

Similarly for a system with a design target of 45 °C ambient, the ΨCA at DTS = -1
needed will be 0.21 °C/W.

The second point defines the thermal solution performance (ΨCA) at TCONTROL. The
following table lists the required ΨCA for the various TDP processors.

These two points define the operational limits for the processor for DTS 1.1
implementation. At TCONTROL the fan speed must be programmed such that the
resulting ΨCA is better than or equivalent to the required ΨCA listed in the following
table. Similarly, the fan speed should be set at DTS = -1 such that the thermal solution
performance is better than or equivalent to the ΨCA requirements at TAMBIENT-MAX.

The fan speed controller must linearly ramp the fan speed from processor
DTS = TCONTROL to processor DTS = -1.

Notes:
1. ΨCA at "DTS = TCONTROL" is applicable to systems that have an internal TRISE (TROOM temperature to
Processor cooling fan inlet) of less than 10 °C. In case the expected TRISE is greater than 10 °C, a
correction factor should be used as explained below. For each 1 °C TRISE above 10 °C, the correction
factor (CF) is defined as CF = 1.7 / (processor TDP)
2. Example: A chassis TRISE assumption is 12 °C for a 91 W TDP processor: CF = 1.7 / 91 W = 0.019 /W For
TRISE > 10 °C ΨCA at TCONTROL = (Value provide in Column 2) – (TRISE – 10) * CF ΨCA = 0.45 – (12 – 10)
0.019 = 0.41 °C/W In this case, the fan speed should be set slightly higher, equivalent to
ΨCA = 0.41 °C/W

(DTS) 2.0
To simplify processor thermal specification compliance, the processor calculates the
DTS Thermal Profile from TCONTROL Offset, TCC Activation Temperature, TDP, and the
Thermal Margin Slope provided in the following table.

Note: TCC Activation Offset is 0 for the processors.

Using the DTS Thermal Profile, the processor can calculate and report the Thermal
Margin, where a value less than 0 indicates that the processor needs additional cooling,
and a value greater than 0 indicates that the processor is sufficiently cooled.

Signal Description

6.12 Ground, Reserved and Non-Critical to Function


(NCTF) Signals
The following are the general types of reserved (RSVD) signals and connection
guidelines:
• RSVD – these signals should not be connected
• RSVD_TP – these signals should be routed to a test point
• RSVD_NCTF – these signals are non-critical to function and may be left un-
connected

Arbitrary connection of these signals to VCC, VDDQ, VSS, or to any other signal
(including each other) may result in component malfunction or incompatibility with
future processors. See Table 6-14.

For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs or bi-directional signals to an


appropriate signal level. Unused active high inputs should be connected through a
resistor to ground (VSS). Unused outputs may be left unconnected however, this may
interfere with some Test Access Port (TAP) functions, complicate debug probing and
prevent boundary scan testing. A resistor should be used when tying bi-directional
signals to power or ground. When tying any signal to power or ground, the resistor can
also be used for system testability.

7.1.1 Power and Ground Pins


All power pins should be connected to their respective processor power planes, while all
VSS pins should be connected to the system ground plane. Use of multiple power and
ground planes is recommended to reduce I*R drop.

7.1.2 VCC Voltage Identification (VID)


The processor uses three signals for the Serial Voltage IDentification (SVID) interface
to support automatic selection of voltages. The following table specifies the voltage
level corresponding to the 8-bit VID value transmitted over serial VID. A ‘1’ in this table
refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. If the voltage
regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage regulator
should disable itself. VID signals are CMOS push/pull drivers. See Table 7-14 for the DC
specifications for these signals. The VID codes will change due to temperature and/or
current load changes in order to minimize the power of the part. A voltage range is
provided in Section 7.2. The specifications are set so that one voltage regulator can
operate with all supported frequencies.

Individual processor VID values may be set during manufacturing so that two devices
at the same processor IA core frequency may have different default VID settings. This
is shown in the VID range values in Section 7.2. The processor provides the ability to
operate while transitionally to an adjacent VID and its associated voltage. This will
represent a DC shift in the loadline.

Symbol Parameter Segment Min Typ Max Unit Note1

Notes:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table are based on estimates and simulations or empirical data. These
specifications will be updated with characterized data from silicon measurements at a later date.
2. Each processor is programmed with a maximum valid voltage identification value (VID) that is set at manufacturing and cannot
be altered. Individual maximum VID values are calibrated during manufacturing such that two processors at the same
frequency may have different settings within the VID range. Note that this differs from the VID employed by the processor
during a power management event (Adaptive Thermal Monitor, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, or low-power states).
3. The voltage specification requirements are measured across Vcc_SENSE and Vss_SENSE as near as possible to the processor
with an oscilloscope set to 100-MHz bandwidth, 1.5 pF maximum probe capacitance, and 1 M minimum impedance. The
maximum length of ground wire on the probe should be less than 5 mm. Ensure external noise from the system is not coupled
into the oscilloscope probe.
4. Processor IA core VR to be designed to electrically support this current.
5. Processor IA core VR to be designed to thermally support this current indefinitely.
6. Long term reliability cannot be assured if tolerance, ripple, and core noise parameters are violated.
7. Long term reliability cannot be assured in conditions above or below Max/Min functional limits.
8. PSx refers to the voltage regulator power state as set by the SVID protocol.
9. N/A
10. LL measured at sense points.
11. Typ column represents IccMAX for commercial application it is NOT a specification - it is a characterization of limited samples
using limited set of benchmarks that can be exceeded.
12. Operating voltage range in steady state.
13. LL specification values should not be exceeded. If exceeded, power, performance and reliability penalty are expected.
14. Load Line (AC/DC) should be measured by the VRTT tool and programmed accordingly via the BIOS Load Line override setup
options. AC/DC Load Line BIOS programming directly affects operating voltages (AC) and power measurements (DC). A
superior board design with a shallower AC Load Line can improve on power, performance, and thermals compared to boards
designed for POR impedance.
